We present an algorithm for the repair of parameterized systems. The repair problem is, for a given process implementation, to find a refinement such that a given property is satisfied by the resulting parameterized system, and deadlocks are avoided. Our algorithm employs a constraint-based search for candidate repairs, and uses a parameterized model checker to determine their correctness and update the constraint system in case errors are reachable. We apply this algorithm on systems that can be represented as well-structured transition systems (WSTS), including disjunctive systems, pairwise rendezvous systems, and broadcast protocols. Moreover, we show that parameterized deadlock detection can be decided in NEXPTIME for disjunctive systems, vastly improving on the best known lower bound, and that it is in general undecidable for broadcast protocols.
